Abstract

This work is presenting an analysis study for using optical fiber array as turbidity meter and topographical distribution.
Although many studies have been figure out of utilizing optical fibers as sensors for turbidity measurements, still the
topographical map of suspended particles in water as rare as expected among all of works in literatures in this scope. The
effect of suspended particles are highly affect the water quality which varies according to the source of these particles. A
two dimensional array of optical fibers in a 1 litter rectangular plastic container with 2 cm cladding off sensing portion
prepared to point out 632.8 nm laser power at each fiber location at the container center. The overall output map of the
optical power were found in an inhomogeneous distribution such that the top to down layers of a present water sample
show different magnitudes. Each sample prepared by mixing a distilled water with large grains sand, small grains sand,
glucose and salt. All with different amount of concentration which measured by refractometer and turbidity meter. The
measurements were done in different times i.e. from 10 min to 60 min. This is to let the heavy particles to move down
and accumulate at the bottom of the container. The results were as expected which had a gradually topographical map
from low power at top layers into high power at bottom layers. There are many applications can be implemented of this
study such as transport vehicles fuel meter, to measure the purity of tanks, and monitoring the fluids quality in pipes.
